How to share internet to other computer? Help!

Hi archers! is me again i have a problem, i hope someone can help me again..i installed network manager, the one that comes with ubuntu, sabayon, linux mint, opensuse, etc..etc...
i always used network manager to share the internet to other PC's, laptops or even my xbox 360...but here in arch...seems to be impossible, i don't have any internet signal on my xbox.... what is going on?

i guess eth0 (ethernet) is deactivated, because when i type "iwlist eth0 scan" on a terminal i get this message: "eth0      Interface doesn't support scanning."

i believe that eth0 is deactivated because i used to have the same problem with wlan0, but right now is working well...sooooo what should i do?

heeeeeelp! please! i need to play xbox live! and i dont want to install ubuntu or any other SO, i getting in love with arch (h)

thx!

PD. sorry for my english, i'm form mexico

Arch is a do it yourself distro -- I doubt the "point and click" of NetworkManager works how you're used to it.
Have a read of this article. This is all NetworkManager will be setting up when you Point'n'Click with it.
